I spent one summer touring Europe, visiting art museums and taste testing the delicious foods. When in Italy I enjoyed so many delicious pizzas, pasta, and vegetarian cooking dishes. One dish I loved was Manicotti with the rich tomato sauce and cheese flavor. Now being vegan, I have turned this Italian dish into a vegan delight.
